This collection was designed as a collaboration between Lancome and Sonia Rykiel and turned into an homage to this talented and very Parisian in her spirit fashion designer after the queen of knitwear passed away this summer. Sonia Rykiel is most famous for this very casual and easy chic that’s very true to what the City of Lights and the City of Love is. Elegance is always well matched and pulled together in its core.

Halloween is one of those rare holidays that’s almost feels like it’s designed for dressing up and making up. No need to hold back on this day, or else, night 🙂 And if on other occasions you don’t do heavy makeup, Halloween of all times is the time to do it or try the things in makeup you never would otherwise. Have you ever thought about it this way? No? Halloween in a perfect experiment […]
I’ve already told you in my posts how big hippie trend is in fashion and makeup. It’s been on since spring and is still hanging in there, even though it got pushed to the background a little bit by a bunch of darker, moodier and more classically fall like trends. In case you’ve missed my pondering over the whole hippie trend in makeup and fashion, please, see my two previous posts. Or just see here […]
Seemingly, fashion trends and makeup trends are two different things. Fashion trends are all about styles, fashions, cuts… what does it all have to do with makeup? Here’s what 🙂 I can name one thing, at least, off the top of my head that fashion and makeup have in common – colour. Wouldn’t you agree? Colour means a whole world to both fashion and makeup. So, looking at colours that are all hot on the […]
Bohemian trend – aka Boho Chic trend, aka Hippie Chic trend – kicked in big time this past spring. And it keeps lingering there in fashion world and makeup world.

Say, Boho Stone by YSL YSL Spring Look 2016 Boho Stone collection swatched and […]
Not too long ago everything or almost everything got to be cushion in base and tone world. You know how those trend rise, right? It’s like you see the first cushion thing and go – I wonder what that is – and then before you can blink ALL THE OTHER STUFF out there gets to be cushion too. Yeah. That’s when you know it’s serious ☺ And that’s when you know it’s a trend, it’s […]

Clinique has been doing like bursts of launches of late. Coming up with all kind of new stuff. Although most of this stuff was actually lip colour in all kind of forms and textures that exist out there. I’ll do posts about those new lip colour products soon. Here we’ve got something different though. Namely, eye colour and blush. For a change 🙂 And that’s good, because we don’t paint just lips, you know. We […]
I don’t know what it is – fall, maybe? – but I keep seeing searches in my blog for Fifty Shades of Grey nail colour collection by OPI. I mean, fall seems to bring those darker and moodier shades with it every time it comes, right? And grey is a perfect example. It’s like not too dark, not black of even off black, still, it’s a darker shade, definitely, not a colourful and vibrant shade, […]
First and foremost, MAC is a professional makeup brand. That is, it’s aimed at professionals and only then at consumers 🙂 I generally prefer luxury consumer makeup brands. Because I like those brands textures and feel better. But… this MAC and Shanghai based fashion designer of Poesia Chris Chang collaboration is a perfect example of why I do dip into professional makeup world at times. They have so many shades in those ranges. The kind […]
